Penis Enlargement

Does Penis Size Matter?

You apparently believe that size does matter or you wouldn't be reading this. You may or may not have an average penis size, which is 5 ½ to 6 inches, but doe it really matter? While you may believe a longer, thicker penis is the answer to satisfying lovemaking not everyone would agree, particularly women.

In fact, women who participate in an informal poll overwhelmingly said it is the quality of the lover that matters, not the quantity of the lover's penis.

However, perception is reality, so we at MyHealthyPenis offer the following information concerning penile enlargement options.

Naturally, you should seek the advice of a medical professional before investing time and money in any enlargement program. That said, there are a variety of products and programs on the market that are specifically designed to help elongate or thicken a penis … at least for brief periods.

Vacuum Pumps

Blood flow to the penis is the heart of an erection and increasing blood flow in the penile tissue is key to size ... length and girth.

Using a vacuum pump, developed to help with impotence, can result in enlarging the penis. The enlargement is apparent whenever the pump is used.

Vacuum pumps are simple in design and function. The penis is placed in a tube and when the device is operated (manually or electrically) a vacuum is created that draws blood into the penis and surrounding tissue. An erection created by vacuum pump usually takes up to 3 minutes and can last about 30 minutes. Those using a vacuum pump strictly for enlargement purposes may need a constriction ring to maintain the erection. Comfortable elastic rings, however, are rings available. The ring is slipped over the erect penis and slid down to the base and remains there for the duration. It is recommended that constriction rings be used for no longer than 30 minutes at a time.

Men without medical conditions can use vacuum pumps according to manufacturer instructions. However, because pumps increase blood flow, men suffering from certain medical conditions including diabetes and bleeding disorders should seek permission from a physician before use.

Penis Stretching

Stretching exercises have been known to enlarge the penis expanding the tissue surrounding the member. The more penile tissue, the more room for blood flow. The more blood flow, the bigger the size of the penis.

Although weight systems are available to assist with penis stretching, some men have reported painful experiences and injury. Hand stretching is a slow but safe method to achieve enlargement of the penis.

The basic penis stretching exercise is to grasp the soft shaft-skin of the flaccid penis just below the head and pull it forward as far as possible. Hold in place for at least 45 seconds. Repeat five times. This exercise should be performed at least four days each week until results are seen, usually within several months.Some stretching systems call for tape to be placed on the stretched skin after it is pulled over the head as far as possible. The tape remains in place for nearly 24 hour a day, seven days a week.

Milking it

The ancient milking or Jelq procedure (so called because of the rhythm established while performing the technique) is said to add legendary length and girth to the penis by increasing blood flow.

Jelqing programs usually call for milking exercises to be performed for up to 30 minutes daily. As with most penis stretching programs, the jelqing should be performed while in a flaccid or slightly engorged state, not while having a full erection.

To begin, moisten your hands with oil or gel and grasp your penis firmly at the base with your thumb and index finger. Move your enclosed fingers toward the head of the penis in a slow, but firm stroke. When you reach the rim of the head, take your other hand and grasp the penis at the base, working that hand forward to repeat the process. Continue alternating hands to establish a "milking" rhythm. Perform the exercise for up to 10 minutes daily for the first week. Increase the grip strength and rhythm as well as the duration of the exercise sessions during each consecutive week until you reach a comfortable plateau and/or see results.

Be Healthy

Keep in mind that although the penis is a pleasure tool, it is also just another part of the body. It operates on hormones, blood flow and muscular reaction just like the rest of your anatomy.

An erection is simply the result of increased blood flow into the penile tissue. According to a study of male sexual dysfunction by Columbia University College, the blood flow into the penile tissues during erection is about 11 times that of the a flaccid penis.

Given that information, it is important that men experiencing penile dysfunction do their best to lead healthy lifestyles.

      • Don't smoke
      • Drink alcohol in moderation
      • Eat sensibly
      • Exercise

Not smoking, drinking less alcohol, eating sensibly and exercising more will not only increase your overall circulation but also your sexual performance.

Nitric oxide

Nitric oxide is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses and the transport of oxygen to tissues in the body. A study by Johns Hopkins scientists confirmed more than a decade ago confirmed that the release of nitric oxide from the nerve endings is the cause of an erection. The more blood flows into the penis, the more nitric oxide is activated and the longer an erection is sustained.

According to a release issued by the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions Office of Communications and Public Affairs, as blood flow increases, nitric oxide is then released from the endothelial cells in the wall of the blood vessels, instead of the nerves themselves. "A key element in the attainment of erection is the continuous activation of the source of nitric oxide in the blood vessel walls," the report states.

Nitric oxide is available in tablet form and has been reported to produce firmer and larger appearing erections in some men after extended use. Others report no effect on penis size.

Arginine

Arginine is a protein component known for allowing more blood flow to the penis, triggering the release of nitric oxide. It's stimulating effects have been cited in medical journals. Some say the substance appears to relax the smooth muscles within the penis, thereby allowing more blood to enter and create a large and firm erection. Others report no effect on penis size.

Ginkgo is a natural substance that is also known to relax the blood vessels, thereby increasing the blood flow to the penis. An herb, ginkgo is derived from a tree.

Pills

Penis Enlargement Pills are also available. The pills are said to expand the penile tissue and increase the blood retention to produce a bigger erection.

The tablets contain a cocktail of natural herbs, vitamins and minerals that affect blood flow and will likely produce positive effects in some men. Others report no effect on penis size.
